New Nexus 6 Update Downgrades Your Android Version Back to 7.0

Google has done it again—they’ve pushed another broken OTA update for the Nexus 6. Except this time, it almost completely softbricks your Nexus 6 instead of just screwing up Android Pay and SafetyNet. Apps are force-stopping left and right, making the phone practically unusable.

You might be wondering how a giant company like Google could do this to a phone that’s barely over two years old. The reason why the Nexus 6, a decent phone in all aspects, is now causing headaches and migraines, is apparently because Google’s trying to fix what they broke with the previous OTA.
